For several years we’ve been offering Russell’s Bicycle Club to our customers. If you haven’t come across it yet and you are a regular rider it may be of interest to you.
So what is Russell’s Bicycle Club? It’s a cost efficient way of getting your bicycle serviced is the simplest answer. Basically, you pay a fixed monthly amount and every 6 months your bicycle gets a service provided by our experienced mechanics. But also any of those annoying little jobs that can’t quite wait until a service like break pad replacement and puncture repair are free of labour costs.
Why does that matter? Well essentially every time you use your bicycle it wears out a little bit. The more you use it the more it wears out. Every moving part on the bicycle, which is most of them, experiences a significant amount of wear and tear during a years worth of use. To make sure that wear and tear doesn’t result in a failure of a part while you are riding, which could be dangerous and painful, getting your bike regularly serviced is essential.
I don’t have time to repair my bike so I don’t use it when it breaks. That’s where Russell’s Bicycle Club comes in. We know that fixing your bike is one of the last things you want to do after a long day at work, you have enough to do and you also need your rest time too. So that is why we try to set up workshops close to you, like in the City Centre where you may work. When your bike doesn’t feel just right as a Club member you can just drop it off and we’ll try to get it fixed and tuned ready for the end of the working day.
We are here to help you stay cycling and if you have a bicycle that is well maintained then you are more likely to choose that over the car to travel short distances or commute to work. Getting into the routine of little and often helps and by spreading the cost of bigger services it helps you to manage how much your bicycle costs to keep running.
